I'd have described myself as a Tolkien reader before this, but now I'd describe myself as a Tolkien geek.

I can't bear shopping. I can choose clothes for my characters, but not for myself. I've got no dress sense. Or I've lost it.

I never like to go out of character when filming starts. I fear that if I do, I might not be able to pick it up again.

Do people really think that about my nose? I spent my whole life hating it, so its amusing that people like it!

I'll never forget where I'm from, never forget my roots. It doesn't matter where I live. I'm English, simple as that.

You ain't ever gonna get an Academy Award for doing 'Crank,' and you certainly won't for doing all the other movies I've done.

There is laughter, shrill calls. Everyone is flirting, saying in nudges and jokes and blushing what they would do in private

Water is essential to life! It's also great for keeping your skin looking good and healthy, which is an added bonus.
